apropos of nothing, I recently picked up a programme from the above match. Here's the Irish line-up, does anyone recognise any names from League of Ireland football?
R Dalton (Bolton Ath)
J Miley (Rialto)
E Ryan (Home Farm) captain
C O'Connor (Rialto)
J McLoughlin (Waterford)
T Kavanagh (Southend United, Dublin)
C Pobjoy (Drogheda)
W Newman (Home Farm)
F McEwan (Bolton Ath)
J Ryan (Riverside, Limerick)
A Aherne (Pyke, Limerick)
Reserves
B Curran (Stella Maris)
N Ryan (Rialto)
J Dixon (Dunsink Ath)
The England team includes Jimmy Husband
Both Johnny Ryan and Tony Aherne played for Limerick in the LoI albeit briefly. Both still live in Limerick.
Johnny Ryan played mainly for Ballynanty I believe. Riverside are long gone. Tony "Fresh" Aherne was with Pike Rovers.
